    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I've used in on aircraft parts plenty, but honestly its never used as a primer. Zinc Chromate primer is usually sprayed over the alodined surface to prep for paint.

Correct. Its a aluminum metal prep. Corrosion control and adhesion promoter. I wouldnt paint aluminum without it. I get to acid etch (wash) and alodine aluminum every day.

Mmmm, I love the smell of alumiprep in the morning :D
 
so sorry my ignorance but how do you use it? do you just clean the parts as best as possible then apply with brush and then hose off excess or does it dry like paint?? I ve seen parts after being done with it but never seen the process??
 
i've never had an issue with corroded pistons. You apply it wet, and let it sit wet. Keep wetting it before it dries. Allow the aluminum to become yellowed by it, than clean it off with water. Dont get it on your hands. It stains....
